*We are currently investigating an installation failure with the Pro Tools 8.0.1 update applications on Japanese and Korean versions of Windows XP. If you attempt to run the Pro Tools 8.0.1 update on these OS versions, you may see a "Function Transfer Error/Critical Error" that causes the installation to quit. This problem does not occur on Windows Vista. Once the issue is resolved we will post new installers.
